Eastford Baptist Church took a night to reach out to its community last Saturday, Jan. 17, as the church hosted its annual dinner, this year called “EBC Winterfest.” Guests enjoyed a delicious pot roast dinner and dessert and were entertained by singer Bob Thompson, who sang a variety of musical selections and interacted with the crowd. Door prizes, such as gift certificates to local businesses and theme baskets, were given out to lucky guests. A free will offering was also taken for the Community Meal Ministry of Willimantic.
